“He’s in Miami to have fun, but having had conversations with his friends, I can tell he’s going through a tough time,” Ghezzi said. “For the situation that’s going on, you’d think he would be taking it a lot harder, but I think he’s trying to stay positive with everything that’s going on.

“If you sit around and think about all the negative things that are potentially going to happen, I think it’s going to drive you crazy.”

Then, last week the Dallas Police Department released a statement saying they asked the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office to present a misdemeanor domestic violence case to the local grand jury. Previously, Manziel had charges from an October domestic dispute dropped.

If charged, Manziel could face a maximum punishment of one year in jail and a $4,000 fine.

“I’m sure he doesn’t feel great about the situation, but he’s not going to vocalize that to me,” Ghezzi said.

Manziel had been photographed last Thursday downing champagne after finding out his case would be sent to a grand jury, and on Tuesday, the 23-year-old was caught throwing money at dancers at King of Diamonds Strip Club.

But Ghezzi said she believes Manziel is not doing anything wrong and that he has complete support in his close group of friends.

“There’s no recklessness about it,” she said. “He’s doing what any average guy his age would be doing and his friends are doing their best to be supportive.”

Manziel needs all the support he can get as his football career seems to have reached its expiration point.

The former Texas A&M star was not able to translate his college success to the NFL game during his two seasons with the Browns. Manziel started 14 games, completing 57 percent of his passes for seven touchdowns, seven interceptions and seven fumbles.

But his most damaging fumble may be in his off-the-field actions, which could cost him his freedom and career.
